GY-HM650 goes on a Norwegian snowkiting adventure

Filmmakers, Roy van Baarsen and Thomas
Donker, have used their JVC GY-HM650 ProHD camcorder to capture footage
of their Norwegian snowkiting adventure. This exciting outdoor winter
sport, where people use kite power to glide on snow or ice, is on the
rise, and the GY-HM650 offered the ideal weight-to-performance ratio for
capturing this experience.

Roy
and Thomas travelled to Hardangervidda, a mountain plateau in central
southern Norway and a perfect location for snowkiting. They liked the
GY-HM650 as it's a small, lightweight camera with a professional
wide-angle 23x autofocus zoom lens, delivering superb images even in
low-light. “I captured beautiful footage from the top of the mountains”
explains Roy, “since the camera offered excellent optics for a variety
of shooting environments, providing a great image.”

Roy
and Thomas were also joined by professional kiters, Max Lux and Joey
Oldenburger, whose snowkiting skills were filmed with the GY-HM650. Roy
adds, “I was extremely happy with the camera's image stability,
especially when capturing action shots of Max and Joey gliding through
the snow, performing freestyle tricks and cliff jumping. The camera is
very robust and can handle a bump and some snow and I can even operate
it wearing thick gloves. It's an impressive creative tool.”
